The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 194
Episode 194: Joy, Hatred (3)
Even if the keyword is not betrayal, there is also a way to develop a character who will become an antagonist.
For example, Lee Hyun-seok of Warlord Abyss or Lee Ye-rin of Cheongan Mercenaries are good examples.
They are already forming an anti-Zheng He force or will soon be.
In the original work, most of the characters who were opposites of Jang Si-hwan ended in death…
but that will no longer be the case.
Even if it happens, I plan to do whatever it takes to prevent something like that from happening.

“I think we’re all there.”
“Iknow, right. It’s really scary because the boss monster is doing that alone. “It’s even scarier because it’s two roles for one person.”
“Are you ready?”
“Yes brother!”
After a while, Kang-hoo and Ahn Young-ho were looking at the dungeon’s middle boss and main boss monster.
The name of the middle boss is ‘Hwanhee’ and the name of the main boss is ‘Hat’.
It is a structure with two faces attached to one body, unlike the structure that generally has a face and the back of the head.
Joy and hatred were both faces.
The smiling face in the front is joy, and the face in the back with an expression full of anger is hate.
The opening gun is opened with joy.
The concept is different from Hatred, but it was a typical hard-working character who used his body to fight.
“I’ll mention it again, but the characteristic of this guy is that he has a recovery pattern. “I’ll take care of maintaining bleeding and suppressing recovery, so don’t worry about that.”
“Yes, I will look for an opportunity to add my recovery to Death Hill during the recovery pattern.”
“good. “You understood it well.”
What is Death Hill?
This refers to a case where, while trying to recover from excessive bleeding, your stamina is reduced by the amount recovered.
Death Heal can only be activated when the maximum amount of bleeding is 50 stacks, but the conditions are not that difficult.
This is because it is difficult to build up to 50 stacks in the first place and the maintenance time is short.
However, thanks to the enhanced bleeding, Ganghu was able to sustain the bleeding from a minimum of 4 seconds to a maximum of 6 seconds.
In other words, as long as the wound was inflicted within 4-6 seconds depending on the situation, it was possible to stack the bleeding to the next level.
“Use mana sparingly as much as possible. Because in Hwanhee, it is better to save your cards. “You share hate and information.”
“That’s right. “I’m only going to use basic healing, brother.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Kanghu immediately started rushing towards Hwanhee.
As an uninvited guest approached, Hwanhee’s expression, which had been smiling the entire time, suddenly changed to a more smiley face.
It feels like I don’t know how to express my anger and hatred. The emotion seemed to be replaced by a more exaggerated smile.
Perhaps that’s why it felt like I was watching a Hahoe mask, and there were some parts that felt even more bizarre.
‘I’m not fully recovered.’
Ganghu nodded.
Perhaps because Ahn Young-ho and I continued to move forward without slowing down, Hwanhee’s recovery was slower than expected.
According to the strategy carried out by the Ricou Guild.
He said he met Hwanhee, who was always in top condition because the hunters were ‘steadily’ losing stamina due to the looting debuff.
But this time, blood was still flowing from parts of the abdomen and thighs.
It’s questionable why the boss monster starts with a penalty… but I
guess it’s because that’s the dungeon’s concept.
On the one hand, I think it also plays a role in measuring the abilities of hunters who challenge dungeons.
The stronger and more skilled the hunter, the more likely he is to arrive here before Hwanhee fully recovers.
“Whoa! Whoa!”
Hwanhee threatened Kanghu with a one-two punch.
Perhaps because it was a humanoid monster of considerable size, wind blew just by extending its fist.
wickedness! Sigh!
Ganghu didn’t care about Hwanhee’s attack and stabbed Hwanhee’s body as originally planned.
The punch was an attack with an obvious route that wasn’t worth hitting, so I ended up avoiding it with just a little sleight of hand.
“fast.”
Ahn Young-ho’s eyes were bright as he watched the battle between Kang-hoo and Hwan-hee.
Hwanhee, who seemed to be very interested in boxing, launched a barrage of punches targeting Ganghu.
Despite the close range, Ganghu did not allow himself to be hit even once.
On the other hand, Hwanhee’s blood splattered every time Ganghu’s dagger passed by, steadily accumulating bleeding stacks.
This is because the goal was to accumulate bleeding through multiple hits, or ‘multiple hits’, rather than a powerful blow.
Ganghu’s movements were completely different from the destructive style he used against the previous monsters.
“It certainly lasts a long time. So it seems like you are continuing your attacks with more leisure.”
For a normal bleeding dealer, the duration of the stack is 2 seconds. Kanghu’s time is 6 seconds, a whopping 3 times difference.
A difference of 4 seconds is a huge difference in a battlefield where every second is precious, and it was fully reflected in the battle.
Whenever Hwanhee attacked aggressively, Kanghu did not deal with him and just fell back.
This is because bleeding can continue as long as the attack is successful within an extended period of time due to enhanced bleeding.
And the effect due to enhanced bleeding was usually triggered in about 5 seconds, which is the midpoint between at least 2 times and maximum 3 times.
Even considering it as a medium figure, it is 2.5 times longer than the maintenance time of a regular bleeding dealer.
50 stacks accumulated in an instant.
from then.
The fighting style that used to be a ‘dodge and counterattack’ pattern changed to an active large-scale offensive.
I didn’t overuse my skills.
Hwanhee simply chased the enemy in front of him, avoiding his attacks by continuously moving laterally and striking from behind.
I don’t know if he was stupid or simple, but Hwanhee was wasting his stamina like that.
On the other hand, I thought that because I had expectations of recovery, I could go into battle without any pressure.
This is because when a recovery pattern occurs, more than 50% of stamina is recovered regardless of the reason.
This dungeon was actually not popular among the Ricou guild because the recovery pattern was so bad.
It was also a dungeon that had been almost half-abandoned since the last raid had been three months ago.
at that time.
“Woohoo!”
Hwanhee took a deep breath and prepared to begin recovery.
Because it was a forced pattern and an immediate activation pattern, there was no way to delay or stop it.
‘Because you laid the foundation!’
Ahn Young-ho clenched his fists. Death Heal is a rare condition that only activates at 50 stacks of bleeding.
It was an issue that Ahn Young-ho had only experienced so far in dungeons where he took a large number of bleeding dealers.
I didn’t think it would happen in a 2-player strategy, but as expected, Kang-hu laid the foundation properly.
“Whoa!”
Hwanhee raises both arms to enjoy the energy of recovery rushing towards him.
In the meantime, Kang-hu tries hard to stick the dagger in, but he seems to ignore it because he will recover anyway.
Youngho Ahn never thought about failure.
It was thanks to what Kanghu said before arriving at the last area.
– If Death Heal doesn’t explode and you recover normally, your stamina will be full anyway, so it doesn’t matter if you fail.
– Even if the death heal explodes and the heal heals on a wrong beat and you recover, it doesn’t matter because the blood has been lost.
Ahn Young-ho knew very well that Kang-hoo had told him to make it easier for him to control his mind.
If the process goes wrong.
This is because Ganghu has to work hard to maintain bleeding again and inflict damage.
However, in order to prevent unnecessary thoughts from getting in the way, Kang-hoo seemed to dramatize the situation in a light-hearted way.
‘Let’s pay for food!’
Youngho Ahn bit his lips tightly. And he cast a great recovery spell on Hwanhee, who was recovering.
It was the recovery skill I was most confident in, and it was also the flower of a healer.
Next moment.
“Wow!”
Hwanhee’s face, which had begun to recover on its own, was distorted, and then he closed his eyes.
Anyone can see that they are in a state of shock.
It was clear that Death Hill had been activated just as planned with Kang-hu.
and.
Shaaaaa!
The energy of great recovery was added to Hwanhee in a timely manner.
“Ugh…!”
It worked well and fueled Death Hill. The energy of great recovery ended up as damage.
“good!”
Ganghu shouted.
At that point, Kanghu was attacking Hwanhee, who had fallen into a double damage collaboration between Death Heal and Great Recovery.
As I lost my stamina so rapidly, I experienced shock and exhaustion at the same time, so my state of joy was no different from that of an idiot.
“Wow… wow! Wow!”
Ahn Young-ho raised his arms and shouted for national independence without realizing it.
Who would have thought that it would be so easy to see what had been only in theory become reality!
Kang Hu, perhaps aware of Ahn Young-ho’s joy, was not missing any opportunity and was slaughtering Hwan-hee.
Hwanhee, who was already in a state of no resistance, was unilaterally slashed by Ganghu, causing blood to splatter incessantly.
There was nothing more to see.
Ganghu, who stabbed the daggers evenly throughout his body, confirmed that he was sufficiently ‘seasoned’ and activated blood fire.
Puff poop!
That was the end.
The chemistry of the two people, who changed the difficult pattern of recovery into a song of death, signaled such a smooth start.
Meanwhile, Ganghu looked satisfied after confirming the skill he had stolen immediately upon Hwanhee’s death.
【Friendship – Holy】
【Skill Proficiency: Lv. Max]
【Efficiency for sacred power recovery or recovery skills increases by 33%.】
It was a skill that increased affinity and responsiveness to specific attributes.
Thanks to this, Hwanhee’s recovery pattern’s self-healing amount was always higher than expected.
Of course, that has become a fatal feature now that Death Heal has been activated.
‘It’s a passive skill, so there’s no need to worry about it. ‘Good.’
You cannot receive infinite recovery healing skill support from a healer.
So efficiency was important even after recovering once, but good skills came out in a timely manner.
‘At this level, I have barely even learned my skills. Did it only show acceleration in lateral movement?’
Kanghu took a deep breath and prepared to face the boss monster that would appear immediately.
Hwanhee’s body was torn to pieces by the explosion and became a piece of meat with blood flowing out of it.
Faaah!
Soon, the black energy flowing from the body of hatred that opened both eyes fiercely enveloped the entire body.
And as if turning back time, the scattered flesh and blood were returned to their original places.
Then, as if it had never happened before, a new face of hatred appeared along with a cleansed body.
After completing the recombination, Hatred’s body became slim, unlike Hwanhee, who was huge before.
“Ugh.”
Ahn Young-ho made a groaning sound.
This is because it felt intimidating even at first glance.
Above all, the chill that caused the surrounding temperature to drop sharply was murderous.
The temperature, which had been cozy, had suddenly dropped to the point where white vapor appeared when I breathed.
‘The dark times are also dark times, but it is no exaggeration to say that I came here because of this guy’s skills.’
Kanghu quenched his appetite.
The real prey is hate.
Among the skills that Hae-jeong likes to use, there is one that Kang-hu really wants to have.
It is the ‘diagonal line of distortion.’
It is a skill that is partially connected to space distortion and is quite difficult to deal with.
In other words, the most difficult opponent has appeared for Kang-hoo, who is now in the challenger position.
The comfortable and enjoyable time of tasting is now over. There is only time left to fight fiercely and achieve it.
